TL;DR: A recommended evaluating method using logarithmic removal rate as an index and E. coli as a reference strain is proposed in this review based on the summary of the current evaluating methods.

TL;DR: Investigation of reverse osmosis system for wastewater reclamation found that some chlorine-resistant bacteria could survive after chlorine disinfection and the microbial community structure in feed water changes significantly, thus leading to the change of biofouling potential.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling was investigated and the mechanism was also revealed in this study. And the morphology of the fouled RO membranes indicated serious biofouling in all groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of the molecular structure of polysaccharides in reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling and found that not the molecular weight but molecular structure mainly influenced the fouling behavior.

TL;DR: No clear correlation was found between organic fouling and biofouling in this study, but the concentration of Fe on the first three elements was significantly higher than that of any other element, suggesting that Fe was more easily deposited on the RO membranes.
